Chapter 719: The gossiping researcher sighed once more.
I probably shouldnt have said anything about the basement incident, but… you look so pitiful that I couldnt help myself.
He paused, then began recounting the details, speaking with a sense of relish.
Not long ago, in the break room, a lot of people witnessed Mr.
Shaw ask Alice to strip.
He even got intimate with her.
And then he made an exception and moved her to his office… He continued, detailing everything with an unsettling clarity.
He even painted the scene of Alices discomfort, describing the look on her face when she was forced to remove her shirt.
So thats how it is.
Kellans expression remained unchanged, but his anger simmered beneath the surface, nearly impossible to contain.
The urge to kill Verruckt intensified within him.
Despite the calm on his face, the tension in the room grew thick, and those around him instinctively took a step back.
The oppressive pressure was palpable.
The researcher who had shared the gossip felt an uncomfortable wave of anxiety wash over him, as if he were standing on the edge of something dangerous, unsure of how close he was to making a fatal mistake.

Dont take it to heart.
Youre on Devil Island, after all.
No one dares to mess with the boss here.
His words were intended to reassure, but his gaze flickered nervously outside, as if making sure no one was listening.
There was this one guy who messed with the… Boss, an executive at Immortality Pharmaceuticals.
That guy ended up disappearing without a trace… The words hung in the air, and a heavy silence settled over the room as the topic was somewhat taboo.
The other researchers shifted uncomfortably, their eyes flicking toward Kellan, unsure of what he might do.
They quickly tried to usher him out.
You should go.
Dont let this get to you.
We need to get back to work.
Kellan nodded without a word, his face still like stone.
He turned and left, his footsteps echoing in the quiet hall.
As he walked away, he could faintly hear people whispering behind him.
Why did you tell him all that? What if he tells someone? It doesnt matter.
If he cant let go of Alice, he wont be around much longer.
Yeah, thats true.
Kellans thoughts darkened.
Who wouldnt be around much longer, him or Verruckt? .
